"The Hero with a Thousand Faces" is a seminal 1949 work of comparative mythology by Joseph Campbell. In this book, Campbell introduces the concept of the "monomyth," outlining a universal narrative pattern he identifies as the Hero's Journey. This journey consists of stages such as departure, initiation, and return, and is evident across diverse cultures and mythologies. Campbell's analysis demonstrates how these shared elements reflect common aspects of the human experience. Content Advisory: This book delves into complex psychological and mythological themes.
